COLLEGE OF MEDICINE AND HEALTH SCIENCES
RESEARCH REPORT 2011
Postgraduate Studies:
The office is responsible for the coordination of postgraduate admission and registration
processes with the Deanship of Admission and Registration and the Deanship of
Postgraduate Studies. The ADPGSR office together with the College Postgraduate
Studies & Training Committee (PGST) have the responsibility of coordination the
running and reviewing of current postgraduate programs, introducing new programs and
facilitating the funding for postgraduate students in COMHS.
The current MSc programs in the COMHS are two-years full time programs. Eight
departments have been granted the option of offering M.Sc degrees. Of these, four
departments in our college have started MSc Programs about three years ago.
The PhD program are research based programs aimed at developing research expertise in
different specializations and equipping students with relevant specialized skills.
Coursework is only prescribed if deficiencies are identified. In addition to the
participation and oral defense of the thesis, the programs also require presentation of
detailed research plan, at least two departmental seminars and acceptance of at least one
paper for publication in a n international journal.
